Miami was officially incorporated as a city on July 28, 1896, with a population of just over 300. It was named for the Miami River, derived from Mayaimi, the historic name of Lake Okeechobee and the Native Americans that lived around it. Initially, most residents wanted to name the city “Flagler.” However, Henry Flagler was adamant that the new city would not be named after him. The city of Miami, as well as its metropolitan area, is well known for its beaches, such as Miami Beach and South Beach. As a result, the metropolitan area of Miami, including the islands of Miami Beach, are great places for water sports, sunbathing, swimming, or simply building sandcastles. Some top locations in Miami include; Ocean Drive, Vizcaya Museum and Gardens, Bayside Marketplace, Miami Seaquarium, Jungle Island, Art Deco Historic District, and more.
